ORGANIZED CONVECTION NOW LOCATED JUST E OF NC BLUE RIDGE...AND ALONG/E OF I-77 CORRIDOR. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 250 PM EDT TUE AUG 30 2005) SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)... WEAK CONFLUENT AXIS ON VISIBLE SATELLITE ACTING ON INCREASING CAPE AND WEAK SHEAR TO PRODUCE NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS OVER FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT. EXPECT ONGOING CONVECTION TO SLOWLY TRANSLATE NE WITH MAJORITY OF STORMS EXITING CWFA AROUND 00Z. A COUPLE SEVERE/TORNADIC STORMS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. SPC TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT TIL 01Z FOR MOST OF THE AREA. WILL CANCEL FLOOD WATCH AS STORMS MOVING ALONG AND TRANSLATING NE. THIS SHOULD PRECLUDE TRAINING AND EASE THE THREAT OF FLOODING. CANT RULE OUT ISOLATED FLOOD PROBLEMS...BUT WILL HANDLE WITH SHORT TERM PRODUCTS. ALSO WILL ALLOW HIGH WIND WARNING/ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 4PM. AFTER 00Z...ATMOSPHERE GRADUALLY STABILIZES EASING THE THREAT OF ADDITIONAL CONVECTION. THUS...WILL LOWER POPS INTO CHANCE CATEGORY AND THEN GENERALLY BELOW 20% AFT 06Z. LOW LEVEL TROPICAL MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE...SO EXPECT CLOUDS TO BE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT AND LOWER INTO A STRATUS DECK BY EARLY MORNING. ALSO...WINDS SLOW TO DEVELOP MUCH OF A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT. HOWEVER...ENOUGH MIXING SHOULD REMAIN TO PRECLUDE MUCH OF A FOG THREAT. WINDS VEER MORE WESTERLY WED MORNING AND DOWNSLOPE WILL GRADUALLY SCOUR OUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WITH SOME CLEARING BY EARLY AFTERNOON. USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET MOS FOR TEMPS.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN QUITE DRY THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE EXTENDED...ALTHOUGH SLIGHT LOW LEVEL MOISTENING MAY OCCUR ACROSS THE WEST IN ADVANCE OF A WEAK SW TROUGH THAT APPROACHES THE REGION EARLY THURSDAY. HOWEVER...WILL ONLY FEATURE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG THE TENN BORDER IN ASSOCIATION WITH THIS. OTHERWISE...A SERIES OF STRONG SW TROUGHS TRAVERSING SOUTHERN CANADA/NEW ENGLAND WILL CARVE OUT A SIGNIFICANT TROUGH ALONG THE EAST COAST BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL ALLOW A WEAK COLD FRONT TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION IN THE SUN/MON TIME FRAME...RESULTING IN TEMPERATURES THAT WILL BE MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GFS ADVERTISES ATLANTIC MOISTURE RETURNING TO THE AREA ON DAY 7...ABOVE A RATHER STRONG SURFACE RIDGE. A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY EXISTS REGARDING THE TIMING OF ANY MOISTURE ADVECTION INTO THE AREA...SO WILL LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE ON DAY 7. AVIATION... ALL AIRPORTS WILL HAVE THE THREAT OF CONVECTION UNTIL AROUND 00Z WHEN WEAK CONFLUENT ZONE SHOULD MOVE NE OUT OF THE REGION. INSTABILITY AND WEAK SHEAR STILL SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF POSSIBLE SEVERE STORMS UNTIL THEN.

FORECASTING CEILINGS TO LOWER TO AROUND 1800 FT BY 04Z AND THEN WELL INTO IFR TERRITORY BY 10Z.
